Museum Archive: Yakima Bait Worden’s Original Rooster Tail, 1/8oz Gold/black spinning lure #16590

Gold-finished willow leaf blades characterize this 1/8 oz (3.6 g) Yakima Bait classic, a staple for those fishing light tackle. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, this Worden’s Original Rooster Tail is presented in a Gold/black color scheme, featuring a dark body and a dense black hackle tail. Bearing the product code RT.208.BLCD.B6, the lure is identified on its original packaging as the "Black Coachdog" pattern. This specimen is unused and remains attached to its authentic retail carding, which notes its USA origin and a 09/21 manufacture date. The 1/8 oz (3.6 g) weight is printed clearly on the front of the red, white, and blue packaging. The construction features the signature hackle tail that disguises a treble hook, intended for casting in smaller streams or pressured waters.
